My wife and I checked this out this afternoon. Like most Clint Eastwood directed movies it was kinda understated and not over done. I was very familiar with the story and the ultimate outcome, but much less familiar with what he went through.

 

Anytime a movie is made based on true events, it's hard to know what is true and what is dramatic license. It feels like they stayed very true to the actual story and events.

 

I think it was really well done, good acting, good direction and good writing.

 

I was hoping they would have ended the movie just a bit differently, by adding a scene they hinted at.

Looking forward to seeing this tomorrow before UK / UL and the CFP games.

Great movie, the gentleman who played Jewell was fantastic, and the rest of the leads and supporting actors were all great. Highly recommend it.
